Thats the thing. People should really use reductionism when dealing with politicians.
I have a set of beliefs which I think align with conservatism. How and why in the name of God Almighty does a supposed hard right member of the GOP have to listen? Doesn’t she already SHARE TEA beliefs?
You can’t be a conservative and not have the core of TEA already in you default from day 1. TEA was BASED on conservative ideas. WTF did she need to listen to?
Norm, I am not trying to diminish Sarah Palin’s character or continuing contribution to supporting sane, constitutional governance.
I like her.
And I also Don’t like how she’s been made a foil for the media’s contempt for anything right of center.
However, she all but killed her political future by prematurely leaving her post as Alaskan governor. No matter the reasoning, people see it as quitting without solid rationale, purpose and result.
She has remained on the perimeter and has lost her political career track. Not to mention ongoing embarrassing family matters in the public eye - unfair / unwarranted as it may be.
As for ideal candidates from other cultures - Mr. Jindal, and other more diverse solid conservative candidates are going to be the salvation for a constitutionally orientated majority party that has a hope of resonating with rapidly diverse demographics. Who is scouting for solid successful pro-American citizen’s from repressive governments in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Africa, China, and Latin America? Such candidates can credibly speak of great appreciation for the USA, our lawful country of opportunity, with geniune storied of overcoming repressive home nation.
Such candidates would not be associated with privileged class, as many on the left erroneously accuse GOP caucasians.
*note of clarification: any proposed pro-American candidates, must be verifiable citizens, born here without question, or of Legal immigrant parents.
No more obamanations.
The republican leadership are democrat socialists themselves, as such they support everything democrats do or want to do. They helped pass ObamaCare and funded it every year and will continue to do just that.
She is an Establishment Shill. The GOPe will try to use her when we have the next “clothespin on our nose” vote, because she “appears” to be Tea Party.
She wasted all of her time in Congress grandstanding. Now she's supposedly leading some march on DC on the 3rd.
But you know the GOPe weirdos have big plans for her because note how she got an invite to Thatcher's funeral (while Obama did not...)
We are witnesses to very evil people who stand against everything Tea Party Constitutionalists believe in, and Bachmann just plays along.
The Christian in me calls this the “antiChrist” spirit. It is that evil.
My feeling about her quitting as Governor is that she probably was still listening to some McCain campaign advisors (i.e. Bush lackeys) who helped her make that decision eight months after the ‘08 loss.
It was the Bush White House that scuttled her in 08, because she stood in the way of Jeb 2016.
Please name one other female in the world that can start every newspaper printing press and broadcast newsroom in the world whirring with a simple Tweet or Facebook posting.
It sure isn’t Michele Bachmann.
I love Sarah Palin and all the Palins.
There were a couple dynamics going.
Everyone in the GOP hung her out to dry. The Bush/McCain/Romney wing gave no support because she damn near cost them their planned loss to Obama. They did not want an actual conservative anywhere near DC in the future to interfere with their RINOs to come. They hated her for the OBC episode in Alaska.
Then you had her supposed base who ran around the web and in real life spreading every liberal meme there was to spread and calling themselves conservatives for doing it. That continues to this day and it does not help that this or any other right wing website gives them a forum to spread complete bullshit.
Then you have the Cheshire/Psuedocons that consume that crap and hold it as gospel. They in turn spread yet another meme. “She can’t win”.
Well if she can’t, look above as to why. One could either call it self fulfilling prophecy or intentional sabotage. But ultimately it comes down to a group of people that have made a conscious choice to participate to some level, for some reason in a fraud on America in general, conservatives specifically, and demand to be unaccountable for their clear and public participation in it.
If McCain had picked Romney, and then if McCain stuck to his claim to limit himself to one term because of his age, the Bushbots would have been very very happy to back him in ‘08.
What they hadn’t planned on was Palin’s overwhelming popularity that continues to this day, despite what the Establishment Media Complex tells us.
Whats funny is that every time I have ever had to deal with a PDSer in real life when they can’t simply resort to their online anonymity, they agree with the overwhelming majority of her positions. Hell even I don’t agree with all of them and I’m a die hard Palinista, so no issue there.
The thing is, it always...ALWAYS comes down to one of 2 things. They either bought a liberal meme wholly with no research, or it’s a personality conflict.
Palin holds more conservative philosophy and has acted more in keeping with conservatism than any modern pol. Thats quantifiable in her record and out of office actions. Only Cruz is in her league and he too is rock solid thusfar. I’d vote for either no problem. Palin first, Cruz a VERY close second.
But despite that, her ‘screechy voice’ or her ‘TV show’ just miraculously puts her in the ‘can’t win’ category and yet these same morons ran out with bells on to vote for Mitt Romney, a man with no identifiable conservatism in his actual record ANYWHERE, because ‘he could/can win”.
And they will do it again in 2 years. Bet on it. Because they have the reasoning capacity of a flea.
Cruz’s wife’s CFR/NWO membership and the Cruz’s Bush credentials worry me.
Even more interesting, if we are going to be sniffing out RINOs in conservative clothing, is why Bachmann never teamed up with Cruz or Alan West for that matter.
The grandstanding of Bachmann’s last six years is an astounding RINO shell game.
Cruz’s relative ineffectiveness is also astounding.
Palin is the last conservative standing for me. The silence of the 2014 GOP winners right now also speaks volumes...
Yea that bothers me too. I always view him through that prism because it must be considered. But so far I have not seen him act in a way to make me think it’s overtly influencing him. But it is indeed there and we’d be crazy to not acknowledge that.
I have often wondered if I’m not as guilty as the next guy in ‘wanting’ him to be something he isn’t, but so far he seems to be who he says he is. The moment he’s no longer that guy, my support leaves with it.
The Establishment agenda has been to keep us in “political stasis” for six years, while they sneak through Obamacare and Amnesty, keeping us busy with false conflicts to divide us.
God Bless Sarah. She is attempting to shoulder a burden of re-educating the dumbed down masses on her channel — while pushing forward a Constitutional agenda.... all while she holds no office. She is spread so thin. Lord bless and protect her and hers.
